After collecting possibilities to use vi-bindings everywhere some time ago, I’m going to start a new collection.
This time I am looking for tools and utilities that are based on plain-text.
Using plain-text as a data format brings several benefits with it.
For example you can use standard tools for synchronisation, version control, diffing or encryption.
This overview simply represents my current knowledge and beeing that said, I welcome every comment introducing new tools.

After months, I finally got my Emacs config published. It is now available on Github. So check out the config.org file for the main configuration. If you found interesting parts or ideas for improvements - just leave a comment below :)

Although I try to avoid to use word processors like LibreOffice Writer, sometimes - mainly for collaboration purposes - I have to fall back on them. And in such hard
times I want to have at least some useful keybindings. Because I couldn’t find any downloads that provide Emacs bindings for OpenOffice/LibreOffice Writer
I configured the basic bindings which you can download here.

This post is about my switch from Textpattern to Hyde as my website system (some call it CMS thought).

In the past I tried a few systems, starting with Wordpress, then DokuWiki and then Textpattern. The reasons for this
changes were mostly the extensibility of the systems and the way you write articles/posts etc. Until the next switch I think
I’m happy with Hyde :)

You may have to append the defintion for beamer class to org-export-latex-classes. Here is my definition.

That’s it!
This means you don’t waste any time with creating your slides and you can concentrate 100% on the content. I’m sure that’s (even more) faster than writing pure LaTeX and faster, nicer, … than [Open|Libre]Office/PPT anyway. Don’t know what to do with the whole time, but thanks Orgmode! :)

This should be a little overview of how to tweak some programs to use the awesome vi Bindings. I’m sure its not complete.

Abiword

Put KeyBindings="viEdit" in the <Scheme name="_custom_" ...> section of your ~/.AbiSuite/AbiWord.Profile
If you want to cycle through the input methods pressing F12, put KeyBindingsCycle="1" also in this section.
